🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in A-Dur K.286 L.394

This one-movement keyboard sonata by Scarlatti draws the ear with its clear exchange of melodic lines and concise repetition of motifs. It is broadly based on a two-part design in which the first and second halves correspond; listening for differences in the repeated sections and shifts of key reveals how its short units develop into a larger musical flow. Keep the smaller notes even and distinct, bring out the two hands lightly, and move naturally toward the peaks of each phrase. Avoid excessive heaviness, while maintaining an improvisatory flexibility in the ornaments and repeated passages to balance transparent sonority with forward momentum.
